Chu Qiao came closer to get a better look at the little girl’s face.

A feeling of compassion washed over her, and she saw why Lulu was so frugal with herself.

The little girl’s face was pale, and her lips were ashen with a purple tint, both indicators of heart disease.

It’s no surprise that An’an’s voice sounded so feeble earlier. The medical scent in the room must have come from her medications.  

Lulu worked so desperately to earn money, likely to pay for her daughter’s treatment. But what about the child’s father? Was he a scumbag, or had he passed away?  

“Auntie, you’re so pretty.” An’an said, her eyes widening as she looked at Chu Qiao’s face. 

This auntie was even more beautiful than the fairy on the calendar.  

Chu Qiao couldn’t help but smile. 

“An’an is very pretty too. Your eyes are as beautiful as gemstones.”  

“Mommy says the same thing.”

A faint blush spread across An’an’s pale cheeks as she smiled shyly. 

Lulu also smiled, it had been a long time since her daughter had laughed so happily. 

She had been worried that Chu Qiao might look down on her, but now she felt relieved and grateful.  

“Auntie needs to go home now. An’an, time to sleep.” Lulu said.  

“Okay. Goodbye, Uncle and Auntie!”

Though reluctant, An’an was obedient. She waved sweetly, then closed her eyes to sleep.  

Lulu walked them to the door and said gratefully, “You should head home and rest. Thank you for everything.”  

“Don’t mention it. Remember to apply the ointment, and don’t rush back to work. If your health deteriorates, there’ll be no one to take care of An’an.” Chu Qiao advised.

Lulu nodded. 

“I’ll ask Boss Tang for a leave and return to work once my injuries heal. Thank you.”  

Gu Ye pulled a thick wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to her. 

Lulu took a step back, waving her hands repeatedly. 

“I can’t accept this. I can earn my own money.”  

“It’s from Boss Ma. Take it, just consider it compensation for your medical expenses.” Chu Qiao urged.  

Lulu still refused. Growing impatient, Chu Qiao took the money from Gu Ye and stuffed it into Lulu’s pocket before quickly pulling Gu Ye away.  

“Thank you!”

Lulu’s voice came from behind them. 

Chu Qiao smiled and walked away with Gu Ye without asking about An’an. 

Everyone had their own privacy, and if Lulu didn’t want to talk about it, she wouldn’t pry.  

But her impression of Lulu had improved. 

Even though the woman worked in such a profession, she did it to support her daughter. 

An’an’s illness was a bottomless pit, and no amount of money would ever be enough. 

If Lulu took an ordinary job earning a hundred or so yuan a month, she wouldn’t be able to afford medication.  

Any mother who worked hard for her child deserved respect and shouldn’t be looked down upon.  

As they left the alley, Chu Qiao took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling a weight in her chest. 

She glanced back and sighed, “Women are inherently gentle, but motherhood makes them strong.”  

“Strong in what way?”

Gu Ye hadn’t heard clearly and asked again. 

Chu Qiao shook her head. 

“It’s nothing. Let’s go home.”  

She remembered that among the ancestral prescriptions left behind, there seemed to be one for heart disease.

She would look into it later and see if it could help An’an. 

The little girl was sensible and clever, and it was hard not to feel fond of her. If she could help, she would.  

After returning home, Chu Qiao changed her clothes and fell asleep as soon as she lay down. 

Gu Ye dozed for a while but got up as usual to take Dabao and Xiaobao for their exercise. He bought breakfast and didn’t wake Chu Qiao.  

By the time Chu Qiao woke up, it was already afternoon. 

Gu Ye wasn’t home. She rubbed her temples, her head still felt heavy and dizzy. 

No matter how much she slept during the day, it couldn’t make up for the lost sleep at night. 

But she couldn’t sleep any longer. She needed to prepare dinner and figure out how to use the oven. 

She had promised to make a birthday cake for her father and couldn’t go back on her word.  

She unpacked the oven and started by reading the manual. 

It was in traditional characters, but she could understand it. 

The operation procedure didn’t seem too difficult. In her previous life, she had often used an oven, so she quickly grasped the basics after a quick look.  

Chu Qiao went out to buy cream. 

Shanghai had baking supply stores where fresh cream was available, though it was a bit expensive. 

She bought a fair amount of cream and some cake-making tools before heading home.
